Hi Sandro, I tried using f2py today without success, editing /usr/bin/f2py to use python 2.6 does not solve the issue for me I can't compile any fortran code to python module,
f2py2.6 -c body.f90 | grep unicode /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_common.h:71:2: error: #error Must use Python with unicode enabled. /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_common.h:71:2: error: #error Must use Python with unicode enabled. error: Command "gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/tmp/tmpCwUHXW/src.linux-x86_64-2.6 -I/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/core/include -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c /tmp/tmpCwUHXW/src.linux-x86_64-2.6/fortranobject.c -o /tmp/tmpCwUHXW/tmp/tmpCwUHXW/src.linux-x86_64-2.6/fortranobject.o" failed with exit status 1 Can you suggest any remedy to this ? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python-numpy depends on: ii libatlas3gf-base [liblapack. 3.6.0-24 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii libblas3gf [libblas.so.3gf] 1.2-7 Basic Linear Algebra Reference imp ii libc6 2.11.1-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-5 GCC support library ii libgfortran3 4.4.4-5 Runtime library for GNU Fortran ap ii liblapack3gf [liblapack.so.3 3.2.1-8 library of linear algebra routines ii python 2.5.4-9 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.6.14+nmu2 register and build utility for Pyt -- Oz Nahum Graduate Student Zentrum für Angewandte Geologie Universität Tübingen --- Imagine there's no countries it isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace
